Re: What is the best way to jack up a boat and replace the bunk boards?
I simply put a 4 ft long piece of 4" square fence post material on my 3-ton automotive floor jack, then slid it next to where the bunk was, and jacked the boat up off the bunk about 4-6", so I could remove and replace the old ones. Takes all of 5 minutes to jack it up, AND remove the old board.<br /><br />For the soft ground areas, throw an old piece of CDX plywood (or similar CHEAP throw-away scrap wood... Even old pallets work "ok") under the jack to keep it from sinking into the ground.<br /><br />Hint... If you've already pre-measured and carpeted the replacement, it shouldn't take more than a few minutes to get it set in place and tied back down, then drop the boat...<br /><br />Since I had pre-measured and fabbed up the new boards, it took me approx. one hour to do all 8 bunks on my trailer which holds a 24 ft CC Mako.<br /><br />Good Luck, Obiwan
